Hmm. I have used Fastdisk with workbench 1.2 for almost a year and have not
had any problems. What have you heard about Fastdisk that makes you think
it's a trojan horse? how can I find out?

I do know that it does not work under WB1.3, but it worked fine under 1.2
it seems to reorder the data on the disk to make accesses faster.
